Cho'Gath vs Sett

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and passive sustain to reach your health-stacking scaling against Sett's early aggression.
Manage lane pressure by avoiding giving Sett easy melee trades and control space with (Q) and (W) to limit his brawl opportunities.

Trading pattern

Fish for (Q) knockups on Sett's last-hit attempts and follow with (W) silence only when Sett commits to trade.
Avoid trading when (Q) is down or (W) shield is active to reduce damage taken.
Take short trades to build (R) stacks and back off before Sett's grit-backed (W) peaks.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sett has built grit and his (W) shield is up, as his true damage and trades peak.
Respect (E) stun threat when near minions or clustered, as it can lead to dangerous all-ins.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 and your first tank item, when Sett's early aggression and damage are strongest.

Early game

Use (Q) to punish Sett's predictable last-hitting near minions and avoid extended early trades before your (R) scaling kicks in.
Keep wave control to deny Sett melee trade setups and avoid standing near minions to reduce his (E) stun threat.
Rely on passive sustain to survive Sett's early grit trades and wait for level 6 power spike.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks your (R) execute and health stacking; use (R) to secure kills and objectives instead of low-value trades.
Multiple (R) stacks increase your durability and frontline presence; force enemies through your (Q) and (W) zones in fights.
Respect Sett's level 6 (R) displacement and first bruiser item spike by maintaining spacing and avoiding forced brawls.

Win conditions

Control space with (Q) and (W) to zone Sett and deny his melee trade windows.
Survive lane through passive sustain and scale by stacking (R) health to become a durable frontline threat.
Use (R) execute to secure kills and objectives, forcing Sett to respect your presence and reducing his lane impact.
